Married With Children.

     Melissa and Andrew met in college when they were nineteen, and now at the age of twenty-six they lived a happy marriage life together in a beautiful house in the country, until they discovered Melissa couldn’t have children, and that’s where the problems started. Andrew felt guilty because she was very sad and depressed. She didn’t want to get out of the bed, she didn’t eat so much, and cried when she thought no one can sees her. So, trying to make her happier, he went to an animal shelter and adopted two baby rabbits. He came back to the house with the rabbits surprising her, but she did not react as he expect

At the beginning she thought the rabbits were cute but she felt sad because the rabbits didn’t fill the hole in her heart. Andrew thought that two rabbits weren’t enough so he went back to the shelter and adopted four more rabbits. Melissa instead of being happier she became sadder. She didn’t pay attention to the rabbits so the husband had to take care of the pets by himself. He started to spend a lot of time with them. When he came back from work, he went immediately to see the rabbits at the backyard, and when he called home instead of asking how Melissa was feeling, he asked how were the rabbits.

At first, this excessive attention to the rabbits made his wife angry, so she didn’t go to the backyard and just ignored the existence of them. But sometimes, a rabbit came in the house and went closer to her,  asking her attention. She kicked them out. “I don’t like you,” she told them, and the rabbits just stared at her.

After a few days, Melissa noticed that one of the rabbits was a little bit bigger than always. She asked to her husband to take the rabbit to a vet just in case, and so the vet told them that the rabbit was 27 days of gestation. She felt so fond about the fact that she had a pregnant rabbit, that she started to take care of that rabbit specifically. After a few days the rabbit gave birth to 3 bald and blind little things. The mother left them alone for a long time so Melissa stayed with them and started to become fond with them.

Two weeks later, Melissa begun to like those three rabbits, because she realised that she was no longer sad for her condition. She started to feel like a mother for the first time and that made her really happy. Also, she was very conscious that they were not real children but she realized that Andrew was so worried for her at first, that she was very sorry about how she rejected them. Andrew started to notice how Melissa was happier so he asked why suddenly she feels better, and she replies that she was happy because they were the parents of 3 little rabbits.
